The devil is in the details. The easy part is now done, and further significant increases in solar/wind in Germany are not going to happen.

Renewables now dominate generation during the optimal periods, but there's nothing on the horizon for other times.

Your graph also ignores energy used for heating and for industrial processes. Their electrification is now stalled by high energy prices.
